Download to Excel" function cuts off leading zeros in string
When a text column contains leading zeros for example "000250" the download to Excel stores the string as "250" in the spreadsheet
I am unable to find a log about this
thanks Muthanna
1) Click on the fx button of the column in question. Enter this:
'<span style="display:none"> </span>' || columnname Between the double quotes, type display:none
2) Click on the Data Format tab and change the type to HTML.

Edited by: user647228 on Sep 11, 2008 1:42 PM(To Vins) Actually, concatenating a space doesn't do it. When the file is downloaded into Excel, the leading space is ignored and it the leading zeroes are still trimmed.
To user647228: A non-space character needs to be concatenated. Regarding what character to append, I would give the following consideration: If the users are content with seeing an added character to the "number," you can append say an underscore "_" and Excel will download the number properly. It's fairly unobtrusive and can be "visually ignored."
If the end user insists on gettin rid of the extra character once the file is downloaded, I would append a character that is rarely, if not never, used in the report. (This ensures or mitigates replacing other instances of the character.) Then you can do a Replace All in Excel to replace the extra character with a single apostrophe. The single apostrophe will be interpreted by Excel to mean "text" and the appearance will change to exactly what is desired.
Note: Replacing the extraneous character with a space for example, will result in the leading zeroes being again lopped off by Excel... -
Download to EXCEL - Problem with truncating leading zeros
Hello Experts
I have Reqs-
When i download data into EXCEL some of the fields like PERNR lets say if the valus of the PERNR is 01000032 then in the excel it is displaying it as 1000032 or esle if a DATE field with value 02/03/2007 (obtained by concatenating MM / DD / YYYY) it is displaying in the excel as 2/3/2007.
I dont want the truncating of zeros to happen.
Any INPUT will be rewarded with points.
Thanks
VjHi,
Try to use this FM.
There are two very important functional modules ,which are used to add zeroes(0) & Remove zeroes(0) from numeric string input respectively.
The functional module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT comes handy in this situation.
Another functional module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT is used to reverse the Operations performed by the above FM.
Let us look up the first case.
Function Module: CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
PARAMETER:
Importing Parameter: Input of type C
Exporting Parameter: Output of type C.
This function module is use to add zeroes (0), to the left of the numeric string input ,after making the input numeric string right justified .
If the input string is non-numeric (including alphanumeric) , string is stored as left justified ,with blanks towards the right.
If the string is numeric say vehicle number , vlcvehicle-vhcle( 10 char)
INPUT : 123456
OUTPUT : 0000123456
Whereas if string is non-numeric
INPUT : ABCD
OUTPUT: ABCD.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Downloaded John Mayer album bur one song is cut off at the end, how to fix??
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that song from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link. -

Document Templates in MS Word - how to cut the leading zeroes in number
Hello CRM gurus !
We use document templates in MS Word but have the document number printed with the leading zeroes.
example we have now:
0005000681
example we want to have:
5000681
Question - how to do that?
Is that in standard? The document number is the ObjectID tag as far as I know. Do I need to create another tag?
Or may be just call a function? Do I need to change my current Web Service Tool? Is that some extra ABAP to be inserted?
Thank you very much.Hi,
have you tried to use this function call to delete de leading zeros?:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
input = value
IMPORTING
output = value.
Best regards

According to iTunes, my song is downloaded, but when I play it it's cut off in the middle. I cannot download it again. Help!
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

I just downloaded two songs that cut off and start the next one. what is wrong?
i just downloaded three songs i can usually do this at one time. the first one downloaded just fine, but the next two like cut off in the middle of the song and jump to the next one. it is really agrivating. what is wrong with it?
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?
I am new to ITunes. I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -
I downloaded and album late last night. It said they were all downloaded and about 8 of the songs cut off mid song and jump to the next song. What do I do to fix that?
All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store. It is under the quick links. Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

Remove leading zeros from string
I am working on a report and I am having a little issue with the output.
I have several dollar amount fields that I need to format with only the decimal place. The amount fields are coming in as strings between 10-16 characters.
I could not find a way to use the currency formatter so I used substrings to break it apart and put it back together in the format I need. However I am now running into an issue with leading zeros. I can't used ReplaceAll as there is a possibility of having a 0 in the amount field.
Here is what I have done for the substrings:
int intLength = strField.length();
intDollar = intLength - 2;
strDollar = strField.substring(1, intDollar);
strCent = strField.substring(intDollar, intLength);
System.out.println(strDollar + "." + strCent);The original string: 0000000037049469
My output now: 00000000370494.69
Desired output: 37049469
Any suggestions on how to remove the leading zeros?

Just wanted to comment that I solved the issue differently by casting the string value to an integer and back. Don't know if it's bad solution performancewiseNever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever worry about performance. At least not until you're much further along the road; and even then not until you've proved that it's inadequate.
but it's quite compact and readable and did the job of eliminating leading zeros.I suspect you'll also find that it has the great advantage of providing you with a dollar (or cent) value that you can use elsewhere in your program the way it was intended.
example:
String noZeros = String.valueOf(Integer.parseInt(stringWithZeros));Or possibly even more usefully:
int cents = Integer.parseInt(stringWithZeros);
String noZeros = String.valueOf(cents);I'd also suggest looking up the NumberFormat and DecimalFormat classes, and PrintStream.printf(); all very useful for what you're trying to do.
